Lonely Planet review for St Mary’s Cathedral

Built to last, this 106m-long Gothic megalith is one of the world’s largest cathedrals. The first service was held here in 1833, but the massive, 75m-high spires weren’t finished until 2000 (that’s gotta be some kind of record). The crypt’s mosaic floor depicting The Creation was inspired by the ‘Book of Kells’. The best time to visit is in the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun streams through the side stained-glass windows (made in Birmingham, England).
